Scope and content
Typed report on CPI and KO activities. The following items are mentioned in the report: Patrick Carmody gave an illustrated lecture on Sean O’Casey. ‘Buster’ McCabe arrived from Belfast. Peadar O’Donnell spoke on ‘The Irish in Britain’, saying that English Catholics were antagonistic towards Irish émigrés. Tommy O’Reilly (a retired ITGWU official) said that “150 unemployed from each side of the city should purchase food and having no money to pay would be jailed. This would bring matters to a head.”
